alt.os.linux.ubuntu is an ubuntu-centric usenet newsgroup. I dip in occasionally, but I don't rate it much. Compared to these forums, it's a right bunch of crap.
But that's just my point of view. There are several users who post there regularly. So I'd like to know: are there any regular a.o.l.u users here? Why do you use a.o.l.u? How do you think it compares to Ubuntu Forums? Have you ever posted a support question in a.o.l.u? What was the response like?
While we're talking newsgroups: anyone here ever used c.o.l.a (comp.os.linux.advocacy)? What do you reckon to that group? Do you love/hate/are you indifferent about Roy Schestowitz?
Anyone interested in checking out these newsgroups, but doesn't want to bother using a usenet client, can look at these groups (and lots of others) through Google Groups (http://groups.google.com). Just type aolu or cola into the search box. You're in for a treat... especially from c.o.l.a! :p
